About Me

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look around. I've loved photography for a long time. When I was dating my wife Sylvia, I bought a manual Canon T-60 camera with some kind of kit lens. I had no clue what I was doing. The salesman started telling me about aperture and shutter speed and I had no idea what he was talking about.

I just started making some photographs. I devoured copies of Popular Photography and educated myself with books from Ansel Adams. I found that photography came to me naturally. I could "see" things through a lens that others couldn't.

I had to take a break from the world of SLR photography in 1998. It was time for my wife and I to raise a family which included my son Michael and daughter Ally. It would be 10 years before I was able to purchase another SLR. By this time, the digital revolution had taken hold. While it was still like riding a bike to learn new controls and terms, it took awhile to get that vision that I had. So I shot for nearly 2 years before deciding to turn it into a business.

After living in New York for my first 8 years, I spent the next 19 years in New Jersey. Circumstances brought us to Florida for 14 years and now we have settled in the Atlanta area of Georgia. I love it and hope to spend a long time here as an Atlanta photographer.

God has blessed me with the gift of creativity. So I want to use that to help tell your story. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to call me any time at 678-310-9172

Honoring Those Who Gave Their Lives – Memorial Day

I had a meetup to attend in Duluth, GA this evening. I noticed as I was driving there, the city of Duluth was paying tribute to those veterans who lost their lives in battle by putting up crosses (and other religious signs) along with their name, the war they died in and a flag above it. There were some in the area across the street from The Work Spot where the meeting was being held. I took a few photographs as the sun was quickly setting.

Jay,
I just browsed through all the photos of your blog and I’m loving what I’m seeing! Perhaps once I get settled in the Atlanta area we could go shoot somewhere for fun. I’ll also keep you in mind if I ever need some portraits.
